a) It is given that 36% of the Americans believe in ghost and 37% believe in astrology among 1,249 Americans.
The assumption for inference of independent samples:
The response variable should be categorical data.
The random samples should be collected independently.
The sample sizes should be large. That is, in each group the number of success points and the number of failure points should be at least 10.

Therefore, it is not possible to use independent sample test.
b) For doing the inference of independent samples, there should be two different groups in which the proportion should be known. In other words, it can be said that in each sample it should be known that how many people support astrology and how many people didnt
